BXBX NOVEL Chapter 110: TEASING RAMON
Chapter 110: TEASING RAMON
Hailee was listening to Lexus who was just conveying that her plan to prank Ramon didn\'t work because the man found out beforehand and had now changed his clothes.
However, in the middle of her conversation with Lexus, Hailee heard Ramon\'s voice telling herself to get ready.
"I will pick you up at seven." Ramon told Hailee, as if he could know for sure that the person who was currently on the phone with Lexus was his future wife.
How could he have such strong intuition?
"Seven o\'clock? What is the matter?" Hailee asked after she had overcome her shock at the sudden invitation.
"I have a dinner to attend, so make sure that you are ready when I come to pick you up," Ramon said again. Not saying anything about what Hailee had done to him.
"Oh… alright…" Hailee answered slowly, still not understanding why Ramon suddenly asked her to tag along for a dinner.
However, before Hailee could ask any further questions, came the sounds of a brief conversation between Ramon and Lexus.
"You want to take Hailee to the event tonight? Didn\'t you say, you wouldn\'t go?" Lexus asked Ramon curiously.
"I changed my mind," she heard Ramon reply briefly before finally hearing the sound of the door closing.
"What is wrong?" Hailee asked from the otherside of the phone. Feeling curious about what program Ramon wanted to attend that he had to change his decision. "What program did Ramon mean?"
Lexus pressed his cellphone to his ear, but this time he walked into his office, not wanting to be bothered again.
"It is a charity dinner by the Smith family," Lexus told Hailee.
"The Smith family?" Hailee frowned. She felt that the family name was familiar. It was not that Smith is one of the five most respected families in town A, but it looked like she knew someone with the last name Smith… or is it just her imagination?
"Yes." Lexus closed the door behind him and slumped himself on the soft sofa in his office. "They always hold a charity auction once a year. Usually Ramon asks me to attend, but as you heard earlier, he wants to attend the event himself. Even though I have chosen the attire for tonight ... "
And the grumbling Lexus could no longer be heard by Hailee when she remembered, who she knew with the last name Smith.
Actually, it was not someone she really knew ... but, this woman would definitely haunt her days in the future.
Giana Smith.
She was the woman who had an affair with Ramon before the accident.
Then, why did Ramon want to attend the auction? Was he planning to meet Giana Smith?
But, then, why would Ramon ask her to tag along? Wouldn\'t it be easier if he had gone to the event himself if he wanted to talk to Giana Smith in private?
After realizing this, Hailee immediately came out of her room and half ran to Ramon\'s study and opened her laptop. She had to find out more about this Giana Smith.
When you are about to enter a battle it is best if you arm yourself with whatever you have and for Hailee, knowing as much as possible about Giana Smith, can help her to deal with the unexpected.
"Hey! Can you still hear me?" Lexus called Hailee after he didn\'t hear any answer from her.
"Yes, I am still here ... continue, what more do you know about Giana Smith?" Hailee focused her attention on the laptop screen in front of her with the cellphone next to the laptop.
"Why do you want to know about Giana Smith?" Lexus frowned. Feeling weird with that question.
"Because she\'s going to be the auctioneer, right?" Hailee found a random reason.
Although the reason was not very believable, but it seemed like Lexus did not pay attention to that aspect because shortly afterward he started vomiting all the information he knew about the Smith family.
"So, this is ..." and their conversation lasted for a long time with Hailee ended up knowing some things that were not known to the public but only a handful of people were aware of these little secrets.
==============
At first, Hailee thought she would spend the whole day choosing the right dress for her to wear to the auction tonight.
At the very least, Hailee knew what to wear after talking to Lexus, who told her that she had to wear a dress because Ramon didn\'t say anything in their brief phone chat.
However, when it was getting late in the afternoon, someone came to deliver a package from one of the boutiques, which was accepted by Martha.
Martha then brought the dress which was still wrapped in plastic to Hailee\'s room with a beaming smile, as if the dress was for her.
"This must be from Mr. Tordoff!" Martha exclaimed happily, her face looking much more enthusiastic than Hailee\'s and this made her laugh.
"Stay here," Hailee said as Martha was about to go out of the room.
Without being told twice, Martha walked back into the room, as if she had been waiting for Hailee to ask her to stay put.
"This must be a very pretty dress," Martha said, her tone filled with admiration, before she even saw what type of dress Ramon had sent for Hailee.
Hailee carefully untied the golden rope and slowly opened the plastic.
Inside, was not just a dress, but a blue velvet box as well.
But, Hailee chose to open the box later, because right now, her focus was entirely attracted by the cute black dress in front of her.
"Wow…" Martha sighed in admiration, looking at the dress, her eyes could not leave the dress when Hailee, carefully, lifted it for a better look.
The dress reached her ankles, but had a high slit on the left. The top of the neck extends to the chest area, covered in matching colored brocade, giving it a dreamy impression.
The brocade covered upto arms which was only limited to the elbow. The dress was really pretty. Not giving the impression of overly revealing, but still elegant and classy.
After admiring the dress, Hailee didn\'t need to guess that it was a dress from a well- known boutique she knew, just by looking at the logo on the plastic wrap, Hailee could imagine how much money would have to be spent to get the dress in her hand.
Carefully, Hailee put the dress back down and then switched to opening the box that had been sent together.
The velvet colored box felt so smooth when Hailee touched it and when she opened the box, Martha moved closer to see what was in it.
And the butler\'s reaction reflected Hailee\'sthought perfectly.
"This is so amazing ..." Martha clicked her tongue. "Miss Hailee, Mr. Tordoff loves you very much. He is totally spoiling you with these things."
Hailee couldn\'t answer that with certainty. Whether Ramon really loved her or not, but she certainly enjoyed hearing Martha\'s statement.
Inside the velvet box, were a pair of earrings and a necklace, as well as a ring to complete Hailee\'s appearance for later.
==============
Due to a delivery error, Ramon\'s clothes, which were supposed to be delivered to the office, were delivered to the house and this resulted in Ramon having to return two hours early to get ready.
As for Hailee… she had already finished her make- up and hair do, so all she had to do was put on her black dress.
Therefore, here was Hailee now, sitting on the sofa in Ramon\'s room while waiting for the man to come out of the bathroom.
"Ramon, why are you suddenly inviting me to come to this auction?" Hailee asked when she saw Ramon stepping out of the bathroom in his bathrobe.
For a moment, Ramon looked surprised to see Hailee in his room, but then he relaxed and continued his activities while answering Hailee\'s question.
"I don\'t remember the last time I attended an event like this, but it looks like I should meet a few more colleagues, maybe that way, my memories can come back soon." Ramon answered while drying his hair with a towel in his hand, while the attire he was going to wear was neatly palced on the bed.
"Meeting colleagues?" Hailee pursed her lips. "Don\'t you want to meet Giana?" She immediately asked the thing that was in her heart.
"No," Ramon answered honestly.
However, Hailee thought that he was just avoiding the question.
"Ramon!" Hailee immediately rose from the sofa and approached the man, she sat on the edge of the bed with her arms folded in front of her chest. "We are not married yet and you intend to have an affair?! Wait… " she realized something. "You already have an affair with that woman named Giana Smith." Hailee snorted in disgust.
"If I intend to do that, I will not take you with me."
It was the same reason Hailee thought before. "So you are only going to meet your business colleagues?"
"Yes," Ramon answered curtly and pushed Hailee aside as he picked up his clothes. "And don\'t do anything weird."
"Weird like what?" Hailee asked with a sullen expression.
"Like kissing my collar," Ramon set an example and these words make Hailee grimace, remembering her failed attempt.
"Then just don\'t wear any clothes, I like you more like this," Hailee said softly, glancing at the man, but in the next second she was already running out of the room, to save her life, in case Ramon had an idea that involved the two of them only.
